White Alfredo Sauce Pasta

This recipe is for my friend from Bolivia. She is in New York currently but never has the time to cook for herself.

Pasta comes as a handy food for people living alone and can also be treated as a wholesome food. Its convenient and easy to make and you can use different flavors with or without side dishes.

Here I will give you the recipe and process for a quick pasta ( any type ) with Alfredo Sauce. You may replace the pasta with noodles or macaroni but pasta is always different in taste and flavour and nothing else can match it.

Ingredients

1/2 cup butter
6 garlic cloves, minced
2 cups heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 (12 ounce) box pasta
Optional: mozzarella cheese 1/2 cup

Process

Melt the butter in medium saucepan over low heat. Add the pepper and watch it foam a bit, add the minced garlic - increase the heat to medium, wait a minute and then add cream ( thick milk will also do - I use it) and bring mixture to a simmer while stirring all the time slowly. Add the grated parmesan cheese small portion at a time - the heat should be as such that the cheese just melts - watch the sauce thicken and add more cheese. Never boil the sauce - Overheating will make the sauce separate and curdle while low heating will not allow the cheese to melt. Now simmer sauce for 8-10 minutes or until the whole sauce has thickened enough and is smooth. Add salt to taste. - remember the butter already has some salt unless you are using sweet or white butter. ( Optional - When sauce has thickened add the mozzarella cheese and stir until smooth).

Prepare Pasta as per instructions on the Box and always al dente - never over cook. Lot has been said about this so no more here. Spread the pasta on a dish and pour the sauce.
